Help with xfs and Fedora 8

I have a bunch of Fedora 8 machines running Kernel 2.6.23.1.
I am noticing that the xfs partitions on these machines 'freeze up' once in
a while. I have  to manually run xfs_repair on these partitions to get them
going again. Note that SMART does not report any hard disk errors - these
are purely xfs related. I also see some xfs kernel module messages in the
kernel logs. My question is this:
Can I move to the latest xfs by recompiling xfs kernel module and xfs
support code for 2.6.23. For various technical reasons, I cannot move to a
later kernel, but it would be great if I can build the latest xfs modules
and xfs support code for 2.6.23. Does anybody know if this is possible, and
if it is possible, will it work reliably?
Thanks,
Ram
